Pirastro Evah Pirazzi Gold Rosin

Switched to this from a sticky and easy to play rosin that came with my violin set, and saw a huge reduction in dust and rosin buildup. I initially felt I didn't have quite enough bite; not sure if it was a matter of technique, or if the rosin didn't quite agree with the Dominant strings I used then, but with Evah Pirazzi Gold + Warchal Amber E, this rosin feels just right. It's certainly not a problem to play loud, and I suspect a softer rosin would just interfere with the rich tone of those strings without gaining anything. This is in temperatures around 25°C and 40-60% humidity.

This is a highly rated rosin. It's good quality, doesn't crack, applies quite well, doesn't generate wasteful dust etc.

Make sure it suits your playing style and instrument though. I do prefer mellower, warmer, deeper tones, but wouldn't say this rosin is suitable for cellos at all. I think this rosin was meant to be used on violas and violins, but being awesome quality it works /okay/ for cellos too.

In summary, superb rosin that sticks well and projects fairly loudly even with a soft bow. Try it out first before stacking large quantities if you're playing the cello.
